“Lets Knock Out Breast Cancer” is a non-profit group. A few years ago Patty, a close family member, was diagnosed with breast cancer. After enduring a long year of medical treatments and surgeries, she joined the long list of breast cancer survivors and wanted to fight back. Our family formed this group to help her cause. It is with great sadness to say t! hat Patty lost her battle with cancer, but the fight is far from over.

Tickets for the optional hors d’hourves bar at the Oct. 8 event are available at Hrnak’s Flowers & Gifts, 1307 W. Ninth Ave. in Oshkosh.
